Mankot, India

India

Mankot, India draws 14 Bunkabop connections with 901 other places across 6 topics, led by history, transportation, and government. One of the smallest Pahari states in the Punjab Hills, it was listed among the region's 35 pre-colonial polities alongside Guler, Kangra, and Basohli. Mankot's court painting developed as a local variant of the Basohli style but declined after Sikh interventions in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1557, Sikandar Suri took refuge at the hill-fortress of Mankot from Akbar's forces. It shares many connections with Sani Udiyar and Kausani.
